About this template
Fishbone diagram templates, commonly called cause-and-effect diagrams, should be used by your team to diagnose problems and document multiple levels of causation.
If you're working on a fishbone diagram, something significant must have occurred at your company or organization. These diagrams are normally used to visually demonstrate the many small failures or issues that led to a much larger problem in a visual way.
Collaborating with your team on a fishbone diagram is a great first step to ensure that those small problems and large issues are avoided in the future.
Product teams can fishbone diagrams during project retrospectives, when discussing process problems, or after significant, unexpected technical issues have been resolved.
Documenting the causation visually allows other stakeholders to assess the problem or causes at a glance and creates an artifact for future reference.
In this fishbone diagram template, your team can add the general causes, expand on the various sub-causes, and craft a more visual representation of the many complex things that led to a problem.
Quickly adding comments, asking questions in real-time, and collaborating with your team in this template will ensure that all the issues are uncovered in a timely manner as well.
